Ermcacx of vaccination.

The folly OF the Frenc', Canadians OF
Montreal Ia resisting vaccination a year
ago when the small pox broke out In that
city, has been str'kingy demonstrated by
the report Of Dr. Louis Laverge, the health
officer The proportion Of deaths that
year among Catholics other than French
was 30 90 per 1000, among Protestants
20 05 per 1000, among the French Cana
dians "a 70 per 1000; this great excess OF
mortality, says DR.. Laverge, being mainly
due to the neglect Of vaccination or .oppo-
sition to 1t among the latter class OF peo-
pie. A still more striking illustration is
given by the Rev. Abbe Decarls. In the
municipality of st. Henri, near Montreal.
the number Of small pox cases was 233.
OF this number there were 11b who re-
fused to be vaccinatee. The whole 1l5
died, while Of the remaining l1S who had
been vaccinated not one died.

BAD on the Teeth.

Many ladies have the habit, when sew
ing, of biting off threads Instead Of cut
ting them with scissors. For either natur-
al or artificial teeth this is bad and soon
necessitates repairs. The edge of the teeth
becomes very rough by the breaking of the
enamel when thread is bitten off many
times at the same place on the tooth, as is
liable to be the case, for all the muscular
force exerted by the jaws is centered upon
the small space measured by the width of
thread

Measles at present prevail at Shenandoah
among children to an alarming extent, and
general fear for the public health is be-
ginning to be felt. 1t has been ascertained
from a reliable source Of information that
there are from four hundred to five hun
dred children now down with the measles.
1t is said from one school room alone forty
out of ninety children who attend are sick,
and in consequence the physicians are
complaining of being overworked. This
is probably all owing to the sanitary con-
dtion of the town. There is not foot of
underground drainage in the borough,
where upwards of sixteen thousand people
reside on about one hundred and eighty
acres of ground, 1t was rumored that a
malignant case of small pox had been dis
covered In a dcnsely populated quarter of
the town, but the rumor could not be traced
to a reliable source. ee.-Pottsvlle Chronicle.
